Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.

Hi, we're going to release a Keepcase Edition, Steelbook Edition(to be announced soon in detail), and a Limited Box Set. Details on the Limited Box Set will be announced soon. -PA

And there's something about a 500 limitation on something but Google translator won't translate it good enough to understand it completely. Can anyone help?

500 장은 스틸북이 아니라 호화 한정 박스판의 물량입니다. 500'장'보다는 500'세트'라고 해야겠네요. 제작원가가 워낙 높아 소비자가도 자연스레 높을 것으로 예상되기 때문입니다. 스틸북 단품 기준으로의 준비 수량은 최소 5천장입니다.

Oh yeah, I used to have that set. Really wish I'd held on to it!

I'm really hoping that Plain release Mr and Lady Vengeance then I can house them inside (cut some foam) and get rid of the DVDs. One can wish anyway!

That Steelbook artwork is as twisted as the movie which is good.

 

[Sigill]

That artwork looks fantastic! I much prefer this to the Amaray art.

That print run is only for the Keep Case edition though, right? The multiple editions for the steelbook will probably have a larger run.

Yes

 

[dufresne]

A for all the issues that draw from oldboy ... Hammer, tongs ... you take out

 

[Noodles]

Me likey!

 

[tristar6]

2200 for keepcase
soo around 6000 - 7000 steelbooks...no rush!

 

[lolwut]

Love the back. Front is okay. I feel like it's too busy and doesn't go with the rest of the art. I think something that extended from the back would have looked better, especially with more purple. Still it's way better than the keep case edition. Just not as good as say Zero Dark Thirty or The Master.

 

[StifflersDad]

After all this time the steelbook artwork is a bit underwhelming

 

[nekromantik]

SB art is great!
Keepcase not so much.

Interested to hear about the boxset. If its just both versions of the title and extras I prob will only get the SB.

Wait, I didn't know this was part of a trilogy. This is the 2nd in the series? Do you need to watch the others, or is this a good standalone film on it's own?

It's a standalone film just like the rest of the trilogy. The trilogy itself more or less centers about the theme of the movies.

Nah, i'm with you. This doesn't do a lot for me.... In fact I prefer the keepcase art and that's not blowing my socks off either

Noooooo

It is the trilogy of revenge, but are completely independent of each other.
Oldboy is God. It is a brutal film with music and scrotumtightening end
